in various sizes, and materials for the o-rings as well as metric and standard.

Take something leaking apart, and just remove the old packing/washer/o-ring, and try to match it up. Almost every time I can make a repair like that without needing to order a manufacturer specific part.

Harbor Freight even sells the o-ring index cases now... and they have Viton, Nitrile, etc..
